----------------------------------------------
> There is also a way to check if the VM is 64 bit or 32 bit, either its out of
> ManagementFactory or one of the system properties. Digging around I don't see
> it, but I have used it before. I think it is vendor specific though.
I used System.getProperty("sun.arch.data.model") in the patch. See

> NameNode uses a java.util.HashMap to store BlockInfo objects. When there are
> many blocks in HDFS, this map uses a lot of memory in the NameNode. We may
> optimize the memory usage by a light weight hash table implementation.
